Puppy Killing Marines Removed, Punished

12:57 am EST June 12th, 2008 | News | 7 Comments

I noted these idiots a few months ago, kudos to the marines for smacking these asses down.

The Marine Corps said Wednesday it was expelling one Marine and disciplining another for their roles in a video showing a Marine throwing a puppy off a cliff while on patrol in Iraq.

The 17-second video posted on YouTube drew sharp condemnation from animal rights groups when it came to light in March.

The clip shows two Marines joking before one hurls the puppy into a rocky gully. A yelping sound is heard as it flips through the air.

“That’s mean. That’s mean, Motari,” an off-camera Marine is heard telling the Marine who tossed the black and white dog. The off-camera Marine snickered slightly afterward.

Lance Cpl. David Motari, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment at Kaneohe Bay, is “being processed for separation” from the Marine Corps, the Marine Corps said in a news release. He also received unspecified “non-judicial punishment.”

    I had been hoping it was a hoax. I am glad they are getting rid of this turkey.

    “I had been hoping it was a hoax.”

    Same here.

    I thought the army had tests to make sure people with psychological problems like that were not allowed to join.

    They just lost focus. The mission is to kill and abuse the Iraqi people, not their dogs.

    CSS: “I thought the army had tests to make sure people with psychological problems like that were not allowed to join. ”

    Could “the unnecessary war” that might be won after 100 years on the people who did not cause 9/11 or supported Al Queda cause psychological problems on young men and women trying to do the right thing for their country, for the Iraqi people and trying to stay alive when they are repeated sent back in harm’s way with no end in sight.

    Shoot into a crowd, stalk and kill innocent girls and their families, no problem.

    But puppies are cute, dammit.

    They do, or at least did. The question is how far the standards have slipped for admission into the military.

    There is gang graffiti on the walls of Baghdad. We have trained our thugs to be better killers, and eventually, some of them are coming home. Maybe we’re fighting al-Qaida over there so we don’t have to fight them here, but we’re going to end up fighting something here, in the end.
